Adaptive fault-tolerant control of non-linear systems: an improved CMAC-based fault learning approach

The conventional cerebellar model articulation controllers (CMAC) learning scheme equally distributes the correcting errors into all addressed hypercubes, regardless of the credibility of those hypercubes. This paper presents the adaptive fault-tolerant control scheme of non-linear systems using a fuzzy credit assignment CMAC neural network online fault learning approach. The credit assignment concept is introduced into fuzzy CMAC weight adjusting to use the learned times of addressed hypercubes as the credibility of CMAC. The correcting errors are proportional to the inversion of learned times of addressed hypercubes. With this fault learning model, the learning speed of fault can be improved. After the unknown fault is estimated, online, by using the fuzzy credit assignment CMAC, the effective control law reconfiguration strategy based on the sliding mode control technique is used to compensate for the effect of the fault. The proposed fault-tolerant controller adjusts its control signal by adding a corrective sliding mode control signal to confine the system performance within a boundary layer. The numerical simulations demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed CMAC algorithm and fault-tolerant controller.

Fault tolerant sliding mode control for T-S fuzzy stochastic time-delay system via a novel sliding mode observer approach

In this paper, a fault estimation and fault-tolerant control problem for a class of T-S fuzzy stochastic time-delay systems with actuator and sensor faults is investigated. A novel sliding mode observer is proposed, which can simultaneously estimate the system states, actuator and sensor faults with good accuracy. Based on the state and actuator fault estimation, a new sliding mode control scheme is developed, which can effectively eliminate the influence of actuator fault. Sufficient conditions for the existence of the proposed observer and fault-tolerant sliding mode controller are provided in terms of linear matrix inequality, and moreover, the reachability of the sliding mode surface can be guaranteed under the proposed control scheme. The propose sliding mode observer and fault-tolerant sliding mode controller can overcome the restrictive assumption that the input matrix of all local modes is the same. Finally, a numerical example is provided to verify the effectiveness of the proposed sliding mode observer and fault-tolerant sliding mode control technique.     

Fault tolerant control using a fuzzy predictive approach

This paper proposes the application of fault-tolerant control (FTC) using fuzzy predictive control. The FTC approach is based on two steps, fault detection and isolation (FDI) and fault accommodation. The fault detection is performed by a model-based approach using fuzzy modeling and fault isolation uses a fuzzy decision making approach. The information obtained on the FDI step is used to select the model to be used in fault accommodation, in a model predictive control (MPC) scheme. The fault accommodation is performed with one fuzzy model for each identified fault. The FTC scheme is used to accommodate the faults of two systems a container gantry crane and three tank benchmark system. The fuzzy FTC scheme proposed in this paper was able to detect, isolate and accommodate correctly the considered faults of both systems.

Intelligent fault-tolerant control using adaptive and learning methods

Stimulated by the growing demand for improving system performance and reliability, fault-tolerant system design has been receiving significant attention. This paper proposes a new fault-tolerant control methodology using adaptive estimation and control approaches based on the learning capabilities of neural networks or fuzzy systems. On-line approximation-based stable adaptive neural/fuzzy control is studied for a class of input–output feedback linearizable time-varying nonlinear systems. This class of systems is large enough so that it is not only of theoretical interest but also of practical applicability. Moreover, the fault-tolerance ability of the adaptive controller has been further improved by exploiting information estimated from a fault-diagnosis unit designed by interfacing multiple models with an expert supervisory scheme. Simulation examples for a fault-tolerant jet engine control problem are given to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed scheme.     

Fault estimation and controller compensation in Lure systems by LPV-embedding

Previous works have considered the use of set invariance theory for fault detection and isolation in nonlinear Lure systems. This paper extends those results and proposes a new actuator fault-tolerant control approach. The fault-tolerant control scheme is designed based on linear parameter-varying (LPV) models of Lure systems. The actuator fault situation is diagnosed by an invariant set-based fault detection and isolation algorithm. Faults are compensated by adapting the controller gain based on estimates of the fault magnitude. Conditions for correct fault detection and isolation, and closed-loop stability are derived. The proposed fault-tolerant control scheme is compared with a linearised model approach and the performance of both, LPV-embedding and linearised, approaches are analysed for scalar and second-order systems. An example of a chaotic Chua circuit is also provided to illustrate the proposed fault-tolerant control scheme in higher-order systems.

In this paper, a fault-tolerant control (FTC) scheme is developed for a class of nonlinear sampled-data systems. First, a Euler approximate discrete model is used to describe the plant under the sampling. Under this model, an observer-based fault estimation method is proposed. To guarantee the accuracy of both the state and fault estimation values, the conditions to make the approximate model consistent with the exact model are presented. Then, an active fault-tolerant controller, which has a constraint condition for the sampling time, is designed to make the faulty system stable. Finally, an inverted pendulum is used to show the efficiency of the proposed method.

Observer-based optimal fault-tolerant control for offshore platforms

This paper is concerned with an observer-based optimal fault-tolerant control for an offshore steel jacket platform. The dynamic characteristics of the actuator faults under consideration are formulated by an exogenous system. Based on a dynamic fault observer designed, a feedforward and feedback optimal fault-tolerant controller is developed to improve the reliability of the offshore platform. The controller can be obtained by solving an algebraic Riccati equation and Sylvester equations, respectively. It is shown through simulation results that the proposed control scheme is effective to guarantee the reliability of the offshore platform with the actuator faults. The vibration amplitudes of the displacement, the velocity of the offshore platform and the required control force under the proposed fault-tolerant controller can be reduced significantly.     

Simultaneous fault estimation and fault-tolerant tracking control for uncertain nonlinear discrete-time systems

This paper deals with simultaneous fault estimation and control for a class of nonlinear systems with parameter uncertainty, which is described by Takagi–Sugeno (T–S) fuzzy model with parameter uncertainties and unknown disturbance. In this paper, a fuzzy reference model is used to generate error dynamic for tracking control. By considering actuator fault as an auxiliary state vector, we construct an augmented error system and propose a fault estimator/controller to achieve simultaneous fault estimation and fault-tolerant tracking control. H_∞ approach is used in the design of estimator/controller to attenuate the effect of the unknown disturbance and parameter uncertainties. The design conditions are formulated into a set of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs), which can be efficiently solved. Finally, a pitch-axis nonlinear missile model is used to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.

Set theoretic approach to fault-tolerant control of linear parameter-varying systems with sensor reintegration

In this paper, we present a fault-tolerant control scheme for linear parameter-varying systems that utilises multiple sensor switching to compensate for sensor faults. The closed-loop scheme consists of an estimator-based feedback tracking controller and sensor-estimate switching strategy which allows for the reintegration of previously faulty sensors. The switching mechanism tracks the transitions from faulty to healthy behaviour by means of set separation and pre-computed transition times. The sensor-estimate pairings are then reconfigured based on available healthy sensors. Under the proposed scheme, preservation of closed-loop system boundedness is guaranteed for a wide range of sensor fault situations. An example is presented to illustrate the performance of the fault-tolerant control strategy.
